Scrapbooks.

I've decided to make an album of pictures from our first year being married.From July 2011-July 2012. Obviously, I could make this myself but in an effort to spend a little less I've decided to order one. I don't understand why it takes more money to do things yourself...

But anyway.

I've used Shutterfly, Blurb, and Snapfish, in the past. And I've loved all the books I've gotten. I also develop pictures from Clark, and the obvious... walmart, walgreens, cvs, etc.

But I wanted something new.

So I started browsing.

The first thing I was told about that seems AMAZING is:


They'll take all your instagram pictures and put them in a cute little book. 100 pictures for $12! I think that's worth it because if you've ever tried to get those babies developed they look awful and are all disproportional. It's sad. 

BUT THOSE TEENY TINY BOOKS! I can't wait to get one. But I don't think it's right for this kind of project since you can't put the photos in a specific order. But when I'm ready to make a book of Apollo... I know just where I'll go.

The next thing I found was Mixbook. And I was hooked. I worked with it for hours last night (thanks, summer vacation!) and I only got to the month of January. It's so easy, and personalized. You can really do anything. Here's the screen shot of our month of July:


 I love it so much. 
It takes a while to do, clearly.

I can't wait!

Our one year anniversary.

I can't even believe it... but it's true.

A year has [almost] passed since we said "I do".

It crept up... literally...

And now we're trying to decide what to do & where to go to celebrate!

Which brings us to a bump in the road.

My idea of vacation is:

via.

City Life. 
Busy days.
Lots of restaurants.
Hotels.


His idea of a vacation is:

via.

Nature.
Peace & quiet.
Campfires.
Sleeping outside.

See the dilemma?

So, I've been looking and I think I've found two situations that are:
compromises.

That's what the first year of marriage is about... after all, isn't it?

via.

Niagara Falls.
the Canadian side.
We'd stay in a hotel,
but we'd do nature-y things.

or....

via

Camping in cabins.
showers inside,
road trips during the day,
campfires at night.

We're still in the deciding phase. 
Which apparently can't last too long cause the days are counting down....

Any tips??
